BAD NEWS! :(

Neetu told me this morning that she got a letter from the US Consulate in Delhi stating that her interview, originally scheduled for July 9th, had been postponed to July 16th ... No reason is specified as per what she told me ... It just said that she is not to show up on the 9th and has to go on the 16th now ...

ONE MORE WEEK ADDED TO WHEN I CAN SEE MY JAAN! :(

She's gonna call the embassy on Monday and see if this is all updated in their system (i.e., the new date) and whether there's a reason ... as to whether we can do anything about it, I doubt it ...

I called the NVC but they had the 9th on their info ... I think this is a unilateral change by the US Consulate in Delhi after the date was previously given....

What crappy luck, huh?

Hey guys - sorry I've been MIA (combination of letting it sink in that I'm one week further from seeing my baby than what I had planned, coupled with making wedding reception plans!) ...

Anyway - Neetu called the embassy and VFS today to check out some of the formalities. As expected, she now has to wait until July 1 to deposit her courier fees ...

Interestingly, she specifically asked the VFS rep if she could pick up her IMMIGRANT VISA in person, and she was told YES she could ... She was also told that the Visa would be at VFS most likely the day after the interview, and that she could track her passport online after the interview (as we have already learned on this site) ...

SOOOO - She'll verify this when she goes to deposit her fee in about a week's time and, if she is told that she can really pick up her passport, then I can book her on a flight within 2-3 days after her interview rather than waiting till the following Monday/Tuesday (which would be up to 6 days after the interview)...

FINGERS CROSSED!
